Dymag’s expert team also worked closely with the UK National Composites Centre to develop the patented BOXSTROM ®carbon barrel, ensuring load path optimisation and utilising a sacrificial layer to protect the load path, strengthening the structure of the wheel.

Like its stable mate – the 7X, the 7Y is typically 40 per cent lighter than standard cast aluminium wheels and 25 per cent lighter than equivalent OEM forged aluminium wheels tested to similar OEM standards. What’s more, the 7Y has between 30-40 per cent lower moment of inertia than aluminium cast and forged wheels.

All of this ensures the driver is given improved performance on acceleration and braking, but also vastly superior road handling.

Furthermore, the 7Y is approved for road use in the EU, USA, Japan and China.
